My extra-day-delay in NYC almost got in the way of the opportunity to see CJ, who I have been friends with since we were about 7 years old. CJ was coming down from the Chicago suburbs to Indy to visit us and his sister, Jenny, and fortunately we were able to spend some quality time with them on Sunday, despite not being around on Saturday. We went to brunch and had a lot of fun playing with his kids (Chase - 4 1/2 and Patrick - 1 1/2). We were picking up some good parenting tips from CJ's wife Amy, too!

Patrick was a big fan of Otis, chasing him all over the house. Chase definitely wasn't, but by the end of the day, he wasn't as afraid. Apparently Patrick is fearless and prone to adventures such as throwing things in the toilet, eating out of the trash, and when he falls down, he just dusts himself off and does it all over again.

The Fritz family! (I know, not the best picture, but it's the only one I had on my camera!)

Having friends over is a good excuse for us to get a family picture, too! Otis wasn't too interested though.

About Us-

We met on a mission trip to Thailand in 2003. After getting married in May of 2005 we were able to go back to where it all started in Bangkok for our honeymoon. We are both Purdue graduates & now live in Indianapolis where Kirk works for DonorsChoose.org, an amazing education nonprofit that you simply must check out. In April 2009 we had our first daughter, Eliza, & she changed our world! This July we welcomed our second daughter, Matilda!

This blog is our way of documenting life as we grow. We hope along the way you find it interesting, & that one day our children can look back & enjoy. This is not our entire life account, but simply snapshots where we share our highs & even some lows along the way. Our greatest hope is that we glorify God each day, but quickly recognize how we fall short & need a Savior. There is a peace we find in knowing that our debts have been paid, & we are free. We pray that through Him we can love our children, family, & our community well.
